San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1887-09-02
The cadi's Court,

San Antonio has recorders court OF
its own now, and does not need any
other court. It Is sufficient 10 itself for
all purposes. When u lawyer demands
a Jury for his client he Ia frOwned at,
but the Jury Is forthcoming by the mar
shall. A continuance on the grounds
that one OF the counsel 10 unavoidably
called out OF town for one day, Is
unheard of, and fines for contempt fall
think and fast sometimes. Then good
deal may be said of the Roy Bean style
Of filming without the evidence being
heard at all, and filming heavy, also, and
the court may fine you II you are down
stairs in the station house or upon the
street. The following persons suffered
by contact with the buzz saw this morn
ing:
John Davis held an old grudge against
his old acquaintance, Schmidt, the East
Commerce street butcher and after fill
ing himself up with little Dutch cOur-
age, he went out yesterday and "cussed'
the butcher until he was thrown out OF
the shop. Then Officer wilkins arrested
him and the Cadi fined him $40 this
morning.
Theo. Artzt, the well known musician,
started out OF his house last night with
his violin to play at a dance, and In his
hurry knocked his elbow against the
glass door and IL was broken. Some
busy passersby heard the glass fall and
rushed into his private residence, and
this got the gentleman excited
and he ordered them to go out.
A police officer was called, and
this angered ArtZt still more, and when
told he was arrested and would have to
90 to the bat cave, he felt himself i'm
posed upon and resisted arrest. Being
a very powerful man the officers had
their hands full, but he afterwards
went along with them. He was
accused of being disorderly and
to save trouble pleaded guilty this
morning before the Cadi. After hearing
the evidence OF three or four witnesses,
none OF whom established that there had
been any great amount Of disorder, cery
tainly not enough for $40 worth. he WAS
fined Is this sum.

goods merchant on West Commerce
